Ugh, I would hope that the APIC ID's wouldn't collide with CPUs. :( Note that you have real CPU's at ID's 8 and 10 and a logical one at 9. Currently my code doesn't renumber APIC ID's to try to cope with this type of case. Does the ACPI MADT table report the same values for the APIC ID's of the I/O APICs? > P.S.

I've completely rewritten all the mptable code, but I don't support renumbering I/O APICs yet. I was really hoping that the BIOS would help us out enough to keep the IDs from overlapping. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/
